Microsoft has released the Xbox One S Gears of War 4 limited edition console, and I think it's the most impressive game console release to date from a design perspective. I give you a look at the custom red Xbox One S with Gears of War 4 design elements in this episode. As you can see, aside from the battle worn look, you have the deep laser etching for the claw marks on both the Xbox One S console itself, as well as the included Gears of War 4 controller. Microsoft did a fantastic job!

If you've ever wished that you could add storage to your iPhone, now you can with the Nulaxy USB Flash Drive. This portable flash drive has a USB connector on one side, and a Lightning connector on the other. This means that you can transfer files to and from your PC or Mac, and can also use it to store larger files like movies and videos, or things you don't need constant access to like documents. This instantly gives you another 32GB of storage, and it works with all of your iOS devices!

Pretty much every PC has a horrible built-in microphone, so if you are looking to do Skype chats, podcast recordings, Twitch streaming, dictation, or anything else that requires great audio - you'll end up sounding pretty horrible if you don't have a great mic. You don't need to know what the BEST PC microphone is, but you just need something decent enough to capture your voice without making you sound like you are in a wind tunnel. That's where the Samson Go Mic Connect comes in.

The jet black iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 7 is obviously hot, while the black iPhone 7 is super stealthy and subdued. But which color is better? I battle Austin Creed from UpUpDownDown in a test of skill in order to find out which is the best iPhone 7 color - or which is the best iPhone 7 black - that you can buy. Arguing got us nowhere, so we had to take it up a notch with a baby food challenge...

In this episode of Budget Tech Buys, I give you a look at the fantastic Francois et Mimi Hydrolix #Waterproof #Bluetooth speaker! Let's see how it holds up to playing music from the iPhone 7 Plus, being submerged in water for a waterproof test, and more!

While the Galaxy Note 7 gets recalled due to an exploding battery issue, I put together my top 5 features of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Android smartphone. Bad timing, right? While Samsung takes care of fixing its latest flagship device, check out this list of the top 5 Galaxy Note 7 features. This is a solid device, and one of the best smartphone designs I've ever had the pleasure of using.

This year during CES 2017 I had the opportunity to work with Panasonic in their booth as part of another influencer campaign, similar to last year. In 2016, I focused mostly on the Technics audio hardware--but this year it was all about the Future Tech Lab. Get a preview of the best tech that we found in the Panasonic booth in the video embedded above, and then hit the jump to check out all the products that I was able to learn about during this CES, like the bendable battery, the sports arena of the future, on the fly multilingual language translation, the incredible Lumix GH5, and more!

The Pixel and the Nexus are like brothers from another mother. On the one hand, you've got Google's best from last year and on the other, Google's best from this year. But how does the Nexus 6P stack up against the Pixel, one year later? Let's find out.

If you look at design, they're pretty far apart. The 6P's metal build with a visor up top is definitely premium but so is the Pixel's metal and glass combination. Their size comes down to personal preference but you can pick up the Pixel over the Pixel XL if size matters to you.
